For: Parks and Rec Commission Meeting -April 201h 7:00 pm
From: Tricia Pinney, Recreation Supervisor
Re: Update on Senior Citizens Community/Events/Prouams
Arlene Castro is our part time Senior Rec Coordinator. Current programs consist of
mainstreaming seniors into our existing adult classes and activities in addition to offering
special activities geared for seniors, many collaboratively with community organizations:
Trips: (plays, concerts, sports events, museums, special scenic drives (17 mile
Dr/Carmel), casinos, etc). Attendance varies from 20 — 48 depending on the trip and size
of the bus transportation used. Generally held once a month or more.
Senior Drop -Ins: Social Hall on Fridays is senior drop in day for seniors (socializing,
movies, bridge, refreshments, etc). Attendance varies; 12 for drop in bridge; 25 for
movies.
Health Services/Safety programs: Blood Pressure Screening; free every week
(Thursdays) except summer (attendance varies, 20). Flu Shots scheduled in the Fall (350
+ in attendance). Podiatry service 41h Fri each month. Free Alzheimer 2012 Life Plan
meets each month on Wednesdays (5 +). Driver Safety Program meets three times a
year-AARP; 30 + in attendance (to fine tune driving skills). A new one will be held in
May by the California Highway Patrol, County Commission on Aging and Jackie Speier
entitled "Unlock Your Potential -take control of your driving future".
Spring Tax Assistance: Offered at the Rec each year in conjunction with AARP
volunteers; free service, approximately 225 participate.
Senior Education Programs/Lectures:
a) Free computer classes, intergenerational program with students helping
seniors on their skills at BHS. 20 seniors; ending pizza party. Other
computer classes at the rec computer lab are held specifically for seniors
entitled "Senior Comfort".
b) Emeritus Lectures: Held lrst Wed of each month in conjunction with
CSM in our Social Hall. Upcoming summer lectures include:
"Communicating With Your Doctor About Advance Care Directives, Scams
& Fraud Targeting the Elderly, Community Awareness for Lifeline
Emergency Response Service, Living Better and Living Longer ... How to
Protect Your Qualify of Life".
c) History Classes: Community Education/Michael Svanevik
d) Current World Affairs: offered each Wed afternoon by Erik Gattman
Senior Exercise: Tuesday & Thursdays; 35 + participate each day. Offered through
Adult Education at the Rec. Other seniors are mainstreamed into Yoga, body sculpture
classes.
Bingo and Bag Lunch: Offered every Tuesday with free coffee and dessert (25-35
seniors).
Other Special Events: Bridge Tournament and Lunch (twice a year); 46 seniors each
tourney. Movie Festival: 2 oldies movies with lunch; 3 times a year; 25 seniors each
festival. Seniors participate in Art in the Park and the Music in the Park concert series.
Senior Citizens Organization of Burlingame: Meets at the Rec each Friday for
socializing, bingo, lunch. Other senior organizations ( New Horizons, Senior Social
Club) meet at a local church.
Outreach to Seniors/Getting the Word Out: Flyers, "Senior Insights" to senior
residents on the Rec list, library, City Hall, some churches, senior residences (Atrium,
Sterling Court, Magnolia); press releases. Some direct outreach by speaking at those
facilities.
Looking ahead to the future: designated room/wing: Although mainstreaming seniors
provides an intergenerational, positive approach by mixing seniors with younger adults in
our current facility, many seniors would prefer to also have a "place of their own" (large
designated area /wing) for seniors only. If a large senior wing/designated area were part
of the plans of the new community center with a few adjoining rooms, depending on the
size, below are just a few programs that could be added or expanded:
a) Expansion of the senior "drop -in" program, currently held on Fridays only to a
daily format.
b) Resource center/area for information and referral services
c) Side area for a pool table, etc popular with male seniors in other senior facilities
d) Movie area with wide screen TV for movie viewing and film festivals/socializing.
e) Increased Fitness area for classes popular for seniors
f) Sitting area for reading, relaxing (small library area), with tables for jigsaw
puzzles, playing more drop -in bridge, etc.
g) Themed parties/gatherings, planning of `Happy Hours' for increased
socialization; dances.

Parks for the Future
1%1.1 Executive Summary
Parks for the Future is an effort to secure dedicated tax -based revenues to support the parks and
recreation related activities of San Mateo County, the cities located within the County, the
Ladera and Highlands recreation districts and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District by
placing a measure to increase sales tax byl/8 h cent on a future ballot. The legislative permission
required to place a 1/8t' cent increment on the ballot was secured in 2005 with the approval of
SB 203. The revenue, projected to raise between $13-16 million per year, would be allocated to
jurisdictions per a formula and may be used for park and recreation related functions such as
maintenance, operations, activities and programs, capital improvements and acquisition.
This report outlines:
• the need for the measure;
• the Parks for the Future process to date;
• recommendations from the Parks for the Future participants, including the distribution
of funds;
• the possible timeline.
While this item is presented as information only, Parks for the Future representatives are using it
as an opportunity to receive feedback from council/commission members and the public.
Need
Today's parks and associated recreation programs play a significant role in communities. Parks
are where we gather with our family and friends. The open spaces offer us solitude, and their
beauty and quiet nourish our soul. The wild places provide habitat for native plants and animals,
and provide critical functions in water supply and flood control. Well maintained parks, urban
tree programs and community landscaping improve neighborhood aesthetics and property values.
Recreation programming supports healthy lifestyles and youth and senior programs, resulting in
improved public safety. Teen after -school programs provide sports and healthy socializing.
Senior programs prevent social isolation and support senior health through age -appropriate
nutrition programs and physical exercises. Sports and other physical fitness programs now play
a critical role in combating California's low rates of physical fitness and high rates of obesity —
among youth and adults alike.
While parks and recreation programs are important to our communities they have not been
funded at an optimal level for many years. As a non -mandated service, they are one of the few
areas that can be and have been reduced during budget crises. The results are staffing reductions,
reduced gardening and landscaping services, longer intervals between litter pick-up and
bathroom cleaning, deferred maintenance, and removal or closure of facilities that need repair or
do not meet safety standards.
San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Division alone has an unfunded deferred maintenance
and capital improvement need of over $100 million and has had its budget reduced by
approximately 40% since FY 02/03. Staffing levels have been reduced from 94.3 FTE in 1990 to
65 FTE in 2005. Meanwhile visits to the County Parks has increased by 250,000. The cuts in
June 2004 resulted in staff reduction precipitating the closure of numerous facilities within the
parks and the complete closure of 4 parks 3 days a week that summer. While closures of some
3.1.06 rev 3a page 1
facilities were lifted after the Board of Supervisors increased funding for the County Parks
division the following September, budget related problems like staff shortages and safety issues
created by deferred maintenance persist.
Cities and special districts within the County have similar funding needs.
Recommendations
Parks for the Future is a wide-ranging group of local leaders that includes representatives from
nonprofits, cities, the County, special districts and park advocates. Over the past year, Parks for
the Future participants have been discussing a variety of issues in a workshop format. A
feasibility study and a voter survey (poll) were also conducted.
The group has reached consensus on the following items so far during this process:
• Pursue 1/8th-cent sales tax
o Pursue the enabling legislation required to place the measure on the ballot
• Do not form a special district, instead utilize CCAG as the fiduciary agent
o Governance responsibilities of the managing board include distribution of funds,
auditing and reporting functions
• Funds can be used for a variety of park and recreation related needs including
maintenance, operations, activities and programs, capital improvements and acquisition.
• The formula for distributing funds to County, cities & districts
o Use population and a base amount to cities as the method for distributing funds to
cities (Determined we could not use other methods such as acreage, programs or
budgets as there was no consistent measurement).
o Use Department of Finance annual projections to adjust allocations.
• How to ensure that funds supplement, not supplant, parks and recreation budgets.
Items that have been discussed but additional information, including voter opinion surveys, is
required prior to final decision:
• Length of measure.
• Exactly when the item will be placed on the ballot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was a one -eight cent sales tax chosen?
This approached was taken because of the strong level of support for a one -eight cent sales tax,
the amount of revenue that would be raised though the tax and the desire to not create another
special district or level of bureaucracy to administer the tax.
The information from the poll conducted in early January 2005 showed that 67% of voters
indicated that they would support or likely support a one -eighth cent increase in the sales tax
compared to 56% would support or likely support one -quarter cent increase. The poll also
showed that only a small parcel tax would garner 2/3rds support by voters and only yield $4
million verses the $13-16 million projected from the one -eight cent sales tax increases.

Why was special legislation required and what is the status of the legislation?
Counties possess the authority for levying sales taxes in one -quarter cent increments under
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7285, the general provision for one -quarter or one-half cent
sales tax increases. However, there is no general provision for counties — or cities — to impose a
one -eight cent sales tax, other than for the purposes of funding libraries.
SB 203 was introduced to provide San Mateo County with this authority. It received bipartisan
support from the legislature and was signed by the Governor. While this law now gives San
Mateo County the authority to place a measure on a ballot in 2006, if deemed appropriate, the
authority is not limited to 2006 and carries over to future years. The authority in this law is
limited to placing a measure on the ballot that raises funds for parks.
1�-., Has a Governance Board been chosen?
The goal is to minimize bureaucracy by utilizing an existing dependent board for governance
responsibilities such as distribution of funds, auditing and reporting functions. The group
recommends that City County Association of Government (CCAG) serve in this role. In March
2006, CCAG approved the concept of serving in the governing role.
How can the revenue be spent?
The revenue would be dedicated to supporting functions relating to the parks and recreation
departments of the cities, county, and special districts. Revenues from the sales tax are flexible
so it can be spent on operations, maintenance and recreation activities and programs, although
local jurisdictions would have latitude to spend the funds on capital improvements and
acquisition. The poll found the voters placed a high value on funding operations and
maintenance.
How will the sales tax revenues be distributed?
The group looked at various criteria to allocate funds. It was determined that methods such as
acreage, programs or budgets could not be used as there was no consistent measurement. An
allocation to the County, allocations to the special districts and an allocation to the cities, divided
through a formula that included a base amount to smaller cities and population was chosen as the
approach to distributing funds
Through a negotiated process that involved the representatives from the City Managers' group,
\.• the County and the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Foundation, a distribution formula
was determined. The table below assumes that administration is taken off the top. Note that the
3.1.06 rev 3a page 3
L
State Board of Equalization charges 5% to administer the tax and the amount for the governing
agency's activities has not been determined. However, for draft calculations purposes we are
using 1 % for local administration.

Annual growth of sales tax revenues equal to or less than 4% will be distributed on a
pro-rata basis. Cities and special districts only will benefit from annual growth in
excess of 4%.
The distribution chart for all cities and special districts is attached at end of document.
How will Maintenance of Effort work?
Discussions in the workshops identified that cities may be reluctant to tie their hands,
particularly as it relates to potential future reductions in funding for their parks and recreation
departments. On the other hand, it was agreed that no maintenance of effort would probably
doom the measure as the voters want accountability and want this money to supplement park and
recreation budgets.
Proposed Concept: The County and each city in San Mateo County will establish a general fund
baseline Parks and Recreation (P&R) budget in Fiscal Year 2006107. Cities and the County
must maintain their general fund base line P&R budget or insure that any reductions to their
P&R budgets are no greater than any other non -safety city departments to receive their full
share of sales tax measure proceeds. Cities or the County that reduce their P&R budget greater
than any other non-public safety departments will receive a reduced amount ofsales tax measure
proceeds, consistent with the percentage that the P&R budget is reduced beyond that of any non-
public safety department.
This amount will be adjusted every 5 years to reflect changes in CPI.
Comments on the specific maintenance of effort wording included:
• Concern that indexing needs to be added to prevent erosion of the value of the general
funds dollars in future budget years.
• Concern that it does not include "Increasing" budgets in good years.
• Language in ballot measure and materials should be understandable by the voters
3.1.06 rev 3a page 4
Time Line
Note: This schedule assumes a November 2006 election. That date had not been determined. It
\... is just the earliest the measure would go to the ballot. The measure maybe delayed if sufficient
progress towards the ballot language has not been made or ifpolling and other factors
determine that November 2006 is not a good ballot for the measure.
• March 2004 — Idea of collaborating on a dedicated funding source first presented.
• March 2004-May 2004 — First legislative effort focused on formation of special district.
Effort dropped in favor of more process first

assessment, parcel tax and sales tax
• January 2005 — Workshop #2. Presentation of survey results.
• February 2005 — Workshop #3
• March 2005 — Workshop #4
• August 2005 — Workshop #5
• September 2005 — SB 203 receives legislative approval
• October 2005 — Governor approves SB 203
• Fall 2005 — Reports to City Councils and Park Commissions
• February 2006 — Workshop #6
• March 2006 — Take the comments of Parks Commissions/City Councils and
Workshops #5 and #6 to CCAG.
• March -April 2006 — Preparation of ballot language by subcommittee
• May, June and July 2006 — Opportunity to take positions on ballot measure
• August 8, 2006 — County Board of Supervisors places measure on ballot
• November 7, 2006 — Election
Items that still need to be addressed
While most key elements of a parks and recreation funding structure have been sketched out,
additional input is required for some decisions. In particular, additional information on a
proposed sunset date is required.
Sunset and Process for Renewal
The duration of the tax and the renewal process has not been determined.
Many have suggested 25 or 30 years while others have suggested 15 years. The use of these
funds to pay bond debt by cities with major capital or acquisition needs is one consideration for
length.
It was suggested that a report be provided to the public every two years for both accountability
and to build support for renewal. This would be included in the Governance Responsibilities
services covered by that administrative fee. A citizen oversight committee should also be
considered.
3.1.06 rev 3a page 5
Next Steps
Preparation of Ballot Measure Language
A subcommittee with a City Attorney, County Counsel and a representative of Trust for Public
Land will prepare the language. Interim drafts will be distributed to City Managers.
Public Education
A general public information campaign highlighting the benefit of parks for our health and our
communities will occur in spring 2006.
Political Campaign
A community based campaign committee will be formed to champion the ballot measure. As
part of their effort, they will conduct additional polls and focus groups, prepare campaign
literature and engage in a grassroots effort to pass the measure.
